    Hey guys, sorry to post a thread as searching is an amazing thing but i just dont really know what to search for this one

    Its coming from the front (passengers side) its at a certain rpm and accelerater pressure that it kind of vibrates, and also when decelerating (especially in second at higher revs) its a large vibration and sounds like the wheel rubbing on the wing (experience from a bent wishbone)

    Im assuming its driveshaft but its not CV boot as thats intact still and has OEM boot clip
    Maybe gearbox side boot? maybe gearbox seal? clutch? wheel bearing?

    So yeah, basically its a vibrating sound that is inconsistant and intermittent from around the passengers footwell.

    cheers

    Yeh but i think it may be wheels against the wheelarch? Only been there since i put the 205 pugs on.

    Sounds maybe strange but are you using the correct wheel bolts?The only other thing I can think of is the wishbone bolts possibly loose.

    yeah, got the non tapered washer bolts, there is some oil under the engine on the exhaust mount and clamp, seems like its coming out of the oil filter..

    it might be the wishbone...

    It might also be the driveshaft gearbox side.. it doesnt feel 100% sturdy.. as if it has a little tiny wobble.. maybe, but thats nitpicking...
